Woodcut Prints of VermontContemporary printmaker Sabra Field captures the essence of Vermont in her woodcut prints. She has been singled out for her extraordinary printmaking by Vermont Governors Kunin and Dean. And in 2002 over 7,000 people (including Stowe Craft owners Stephen & Susan) visited Sabra Field's 2nd Retrospective exhibit at Middlebury College. Wood Cut Sabra Field Print Sabra's BackgroundSabra Field was born in 1935 in Tulsa, Oklahoma, and grew up in the metropolitan New York area. She earned a B. A. with honors in The Arts from Middlebury College, here in Vermont. She went on to receive a MAT degree from Wesleyan University. Sabra taught high school art for seven years and has inspired many Vermont artists over the years. She has published hand-pulled wood block prints from her Vermont Studio since 1969. Her work includes traditional and contemporary techniques. Her work has been featured in over 50 one- person shows and several magazine covers.
| Contemporary Art PrintsSabra has developed many innovative techniques in contemporary printmaking. She was an early user of the new Giclee technology. Giclee use sophisticated computer scanning and printing technology to reproduce exact copies of original artwork prints. So what Sabra does now is she takes her wood cut prints as far as the "bon a tirer" stage (her best proof). Previously, Field would then hand that proof to an in-house assistant to print. Now she gives it to an outside press for printing on a high quality ink jet printer. The word Giclee means "spray" and that is how the printing is so exact. Up to 12 seperate ink jets create a mix of colors that can be fine tuned until the image is a perfect copy. Custom Framing for Contemporary PrintsAll the artwork prints you see here may be purchased with or without a frame. Our frames are custom made by local framing specialist Lassie Barile. For Sabra Field Prints Lassie creates a custom blend of natural dyes to make the wood frame a perfect complement to the art print inside it. You may barely notice the frame, the mat or the special glass. What you do notice is the print looks it's very best.
